www.arscyni.ccCrypto Cult Science | Angelino DesmetMoney corrupts; bitcoin corrupts absolutely. Disregarding all of bitcoin's shortcomings, a financial instrument that brings out the worst in people—greed—won't change the world for the better.

Just finishing the #book 'Crypto Confidential: Winning and Losing Millions in the New Frontier of Finance' written by #cryptobro Nathaniel Eliason.

It does not paint a nice picture of the culture of greed and gambling. It also confirms how a technology that could have some useful use cases (once passed the incredibly steep learning curve, which by itself is an open challenge) has been taken completely over by speculators and #scammers.

Fortunately, most of this seems to be nowadays in the past.

Greg Sargent saying Trump is trying to IMPORT "authoritarianism" from El Salvador is the kind of white supremacist bullshit that could only come out of the mouths of a liberal gringo.

OPERATION CONDOR is proof the gringocracy have always EXPORTED #fascism to Latinoamerica. also, he still won’t say FASCISM.

it’s outrageous he implies dictators are normal to Latinoamerica; that Bukele exists in a political vaccum, as if he weren’t a #cryptobro creation.

liberals are the fucking worse.

Y’ALL!

USA’s official ball fluffer to the rich and famous actually published this about the Republican-sponsored #kidnappings #abductions #humanTrafficking to the #cryptobro concentration camp:

❝ "The officers grabbed him and two other boys…" Merwil’s father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, told Documented, before claiming, "One said, 'No, he's not the one,' like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, 'Take him anyway.' " ❞

I’ve done the whole #crypto #bitcoin thing. No large amounts and I'm not a #cryptobro. But I’ve come to a conclusion: it’s stupid. It’s a hassle and overly complicated. I’m stunned anyone takes white papers seriously, at all. My approach is the one I still think is the best, and has worked for me — it doesn’t matter if it has an actual purpose, what matters is that everyone else thinks it’s has value. At it’s core, it’s just busywork for computers that adds nothing worthwhile to the world. That’s it. It’s just another empty #tech promise. #cryptocoin #cryptocurrency
